@CiaraNi @jwcph For that picture, when I first saw it, the text to it was the actual deceiving part, claiming the "photo was taken". Without any text, it would have been nothing but an image. With text, it became a deception.

@djlink@mastodon.gamedev.place @Igigog@mastodon.gamedev.place Looking at other peoples code/word assemblies is like looking at the night sky. The only emotion I feel there is curiosity and awe. Looking at machine generated codes/words, I get either bored or confused. Producing code/words myself is always bound to the emotion of total immersion, sacrificing my perception of time. Now... replace code/words with art. Context still applies.

@Professor_Stevens @bloor ... and "I have learned a lot".

@0xabad1dea@infosec.exchange I believe you are just trying to establish a general baseline towards reliable communications. Misunderstandings will always be there, regardless of educational level. Words are always a mere translation from and to the mind. "... slow down, read it again... " Not just for words perceived, but for those we compose, too. On top of that, when picking up an argument, check for ambiguities and try to resolve them. You did all that in your toot. Can't see a shitstorm for that.

@kamstrup True... just like awk for awkward.

@tj When scrolling through the replies on this post, the scrollbar does not provide any reliable information on how far I am through until I reach the very end either... 🥸

@PizzaDemon @amydiehl Only scenario where task switching has a positive effect is when you're stuck on one task and need to zoom out to discover a different approach to it.

@valcurious@lgbtqia.space @aesthr@wandering.shop That is equal to serving spaghetti with ketchup and call it spaghetti bolognese.

@ahltorp @hermannus @Eetschrijver @infobeautiful I said hard, not impossible. Leveling seats is mostly a partial workaround for direct voting, which still distorts the projection from the indirect ones. Every mechanism that forces voters to make a strategic vote instead of a reflective one, is missing the democratic thought. That, of course, is purely philosophical... so i hope you may forgive me for my unchained curiousity to doubt the establishment.

@amydiehl We can conclude from this that the human brain shares some properties with von Neumanns architecture.

@floe@hci.social @ricci@discuss.systems It isn't about direct revenue in this case. It's about infiltration, spreading misinformation, washing out human participation, grinding every non-compliant human maintained service to exhaustion... and in regard to FOSS even expropriation. Slop is like virus. It spreads everywhere. @alice@lgbtqia.space Someone spoke out what most of us are experiencing at their core in these days. https://social.treehouse.systems/@mgorny/116742478195701757

@0xabad1dea@infosec.exchange This flow chart does not include that kind of outcome. Someone care to fix it?

@kittyboy77@tech.lgbt @virbonus@sueden.social @valcurious@lgbtqia.space @aesthr@wandering.shop I really regret not havin' brought up a Vitello Tonnato analogy... 🫤

@Npars01@mstdn.social @petergleick@fediscience.org I like your referencing. Without any at hand, I wonder, does a price increase of fossils bear any positive effect? Where is the long-term profit?

@randahl@mastodon.social We could make a childrens book out of this to clearly identify the mad guy up front.

@aeva@mastodon.gamedev.place @pupxel@mastodon.gamedev.place ... super cereal. Please... eXcuse my language.

@woe2you @auxonic @neil It really is more of a tradition than a real preference. Like christmas. Nobody really likes it, yet its a non-optional social convention.

@Gulleko "The Others" for best script. "Life" for latest one that got me thrilled. "Braindead" for neural flatlining.

@stavvers@masto.ai @Nickiquote@mstdn.social That's called butt-lifting.

@jwcph @CiaraNi Yup, works in both ways. Extrinsic evaluation misleads as it pleases. It is not the fake image that displeases, it is the knowledge of its implications.

@CiaraNi @jwcph True. Still, the impact of the actual lie carried significantly more weight to it than the image itself. I first just saw the image and thought... "this looks way to perfect". Then I read the text and went to "unbelievable... what are the odds for such an event". Now I am like... "the written word seems to have more impact on my plausibility control than my imagery vision".

@Verovitry @mxchara @ariaflame @geekysteven That is true, still it originates from the same psychological thrive... to subdue others to ones will. I really don't want to argue here. I'm just feeling the prejudice on the male gender quite harming, too.

@lisamelton I already disliked that "Simon says" game as a child. Today, entire stock markets seem to play along with it.

@benlockwood The irony is that it has been "urgent" for over half a century. Since the beginnings of humankind, we constantly pretended to fight some ideological war for the future of our youngest generations... again and again. Today we might realize, we just needed something "evil" to give our inner belief of being on the good side some contrast to feel better about ourselves. If you're on top of the food chain, your only enemy is your own hubris.

@jonoleth @david_chisnall Maybe there is a design to it. You shall not caugh.

@Noortjevee@mstdn.social Even Musk is too poor to amount that. Trump sold the card to himself for an undisclosed price, but at a cost even higher to the people of the "United States of America".

@mxchara @Verovitry @ariaflame @geekysteven There are a lot of satisfactory afflictions, sex is just one of them. I was talking about dominance.

@hermannus @Eetschrijver @infobeautiful What about electoral thresholds? Who gets the seats from the votes for parties discarded by it? Not fully "winner takes it all" but more like "big ones absorb the small ones". I find it hard to find any true democratic voting system in that sense that it projects the people onto representatives proportionally and unaltered.

@nixCraft@mastodon.social Got a client who is ceo of a private institute that measures economic benefits of eco systems. Lots of surveying and publishing for governance. He told me about his ambitions to hop on the ai train. I asked why. He said he fears dropping behind, already loosing public order announcements to other institutes who do use ai to analyze and generate reports and scientific articles at much faster speed. The executives meta dilemma. Hop on, share the fate. Don't, get left behind eventually.

@petergleick At their best, all politicians can do is to regulate economy and people with the tools of the underlying political system. But what if the biggest source of the problem is ungovernable by constitutions, dictators and even laws of nature? https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2017/jul/12/want-to-fight-climate-change-have-fewer-children

@Verovitry @ariaflame @mxchara @geekysteven I came to the conclusion that the relation between power and dominance is not founded on gender. Cleopatra and Margret Thatcher fell into that pit, too. The reason for this false positive evaluation comes from correlation, not causation, as the male gender held power significantly more often since the beginnings of mammal evolution. Prejudice is built on correlation, not causation. I found Taoism quite promising at first. It is all about balance.

@Noortjevee They listened very carefully.

@PicsbyMargot @grickle@mstdn.social I once met a cucumber... trapped in eternity. That one was quite alone... until it found itself to be a banana... for scale.

@Noortjevee Well, at least some people know now... 🥸

@burnoutqueen@todon.nl @wakame@tech.lgbt @ireneista@adhd.irenes.space @futurebird@sauropods.win He was, as so many in his times. Curie, Bohr, Heisenberg, Born, Dirac, Pauli... not to forget Mileva. I prefer to see it all as a team effort.

@Igigog@mastodon.gamedev.place @djlink@mastodon.gamedev.place True. Still, most emotions on art lead me back to curiosity... about the artists, about their thoughts and ideas, their history and their technique. If not that, then about how we came to feel that way.

@neil As a person with some height, this usually disturbs me more than those who don't have to worry about it.

@mgorny Was about to comment something comforting, but it all already sounded stupid in my head. So... just a hug for your thoughts.

@be@floss.social @jonny@neuromatch.social Functionality beats our preference over responsibility... again... hoo... ray.

@2003MugishaPhocit@mastodon.social @broadwaybabyto@zeroes.ca The place it could be, overcoming human cruelty... even natures at best, breaking free from Darwinism.

@0xabad1dea ... too... much... background... noise...

@ellie @catsalad You shouldn't leave it running then. Cats only try to put the wasted energy on heat to good use.

@LRRRonEarth@beige.party I beg to differ...

@Noortjevee Yeah, those are the worst... 😇

@Noortjevee@mstdn.social Wait... that does not sum up... or did they sell that one card for 39T?

@Legion495@mk.absturztau.be @warandpeas@mastodon.social Creativity is like a palette of colors, like life itself... you take information from the outside and rearrange it there from your inside. I believe I already have seen some artwork here that emerged from the floating context of the fediverse. It really always is kind of a team effort.

@Strandjunker@mstdn.social I really liked the idea we were all brought to earth by a stork much better.

@janeishly@beige.party @patrickcmiller@infosec.exchange It's kind of an analogy from autonomous driving, where (relatively speaking) overall less accidents happen, but the percentage with injuries or fatalities is significantly higher than with human drivers. To err is human, but to really foul things up you need a computer. (Paul R. Ehrlich)
